IMPORTANT NOTES:
*Before digging, check for underground utilities. The North American One Call Referral Service at 1.888.258.0808
connects you to a national directory of utility companies.
**The United States Postal Service requires mailboxes to be installed with the bottom of the box at a vertical height of
between 41 to 45 inches from the road surface and 6 to 8 inches from the front face of the curb to the mailbox door.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
To clean this product, use a mild soap in water solution and rub gently with sponge. Rinse thoroughly with water.
Power washing and abrasive materials are not recommended and can cause damage. Mailbox post is made from
GFRC. Support brace and arm are made from FRP.
Read each step thoroughly prior to installing the Cast Stone Mailbox Post:
1: Dig a hole 8" - 12" in diameter approximately 24"- 36" deep.* Review USPS mailbox
requirement from the curb.**
2: Determine the height of the 4" x 4" or 6" x 6" wooden post by adding the depth of the
hole plus 50" from ground level. Mark wooden post accordingly and cut off excess
material with a saw.
3: Place wooden post in center of hole or concrete forming tube and fill evenly with
pre-mixed concrete to the top of the hole. Use a level to make sure the wooden post is
straight and secure until concrete cures.
4: Slide the cast stone mailbox post (A) over the wooden post with flat rim on top.
Position cast stone post flush to the ground and flush to the middle of the wooden post
facing the street.
5: Assemble the support brace to the arm (C) using the mailbox arm screw (E), tighten screw
with Allen wrench (F). Make sure the curved leg is facing the side for mounting.
6: Depending on mailbox size (not included), either standard or oversized, the mailbox support
platform should be positioned between 41" to 45" high** from the ground. Center the mailbox
support (C) on the cast stone post (A) and drill through the 5 pre-drilled holes on the mailbox
support and through the cast stone post, and into the wooden post using a masonry bit. Secure
support brace (C) to mailbox post (A) with four brace screws (D) into wooden post. Drilling
small pilot holes into wooden post will make inserting the screws easier.
7: Secure the arm at the bottom of the support brace (C) to the mailbox post (A) and secure with
one brace screw (D) into wooden post.
8: Apply clear caulk (not included) to top of cast stone post (A) and secure the mailbox cap (B).
9: Mailbox Installation: To install mailbox onto mailbox support platform, follow the mailbox
manufacturer's installation instructions.
Side Mount: Oversized mailbox may require use of Mailbox Screws & Spacers (G). Center
mailbox and drill pilot holes in support brace (C) before attaching. Standard Mailbox
Mounting: Use Mailbox Screws (H).
Inside Mount: Center mailbox, mark hole location, and drill pilot holes in top of support brace
(C). Attach with mailbox manufacturer's screws.
Note: Mailboxes exceeding 1/2" gap on support brace (C) between metal bracket and support
platform require attaching a mailbox mounting board to the support brace (C).
